A Saturn V F-1 engine, originally stored at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington arrives at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. The engine’s pristine condition made its components ideal for refurbishment and testing. Andrew Hanks, a Marshall engineer with the Safety and Mission Assurance Office, collaborated with the team to arrange for the engine’s safe transportation to the Marshall Center Propulsion Research Development Laboratory in July 2012.
